The Best Man novel Chapter 43

"So what are you going to do?", Anna asked when I just told her what happened after coming to terms with the whole reality. We were carpooling to work this week because my car had to be serviced for the weekend trip.

"I think I'm going to get a tattoo", I answered while looking out of the window and I felt her pinch my arm with her eyes focused on the road

"Ow", I winced while rubbing her nail marks off my skin. "What was that for?"

"You're being really stupid", she pointed a finger at me. "I'm asking you what are you going to do now that God sent you a kind, stallion in bed, caring and sweet good-looking guy in your direction and you're telling me that you want to get a tattoo?"

"I want to get it, a tattoo", I protested while folding my arms across my chest. "Can you take me to a tattoo parlor after work?"

"You're changing the topic", she sighed heavily before glancing my direction for a mere second, and I was grinning at her

"Pwease?", I pouted my lip, and she seemed hesitant while sighing softly through her lips

"Fine", she rolled her eyes. "I hope it won't take long though, Rick and I have to go grocery shopping"

"How are things between you two?"

"I mean, they're okay now and every thing, and we're attending couples counseling to try and iron out our differences because this baby will need the both of us to play an active role in its life"

"I'm really happy to hear that", I entwined our hands together, and she smiled warmly

"He's actually really excited about this baby, more than I expected he would"

"How could he not? He knocked up the most beautiful girl in the city, I'd be fucking excited too", I said, and she laughed before turning the ignition off, and I realized we were already at the office's parking space.

"Thank you, Liv"

"What for?"

"For being there for me when I needed you the most", she was so hormonal these days, I'm sure she was always crying for the both of us

"Aww momma no, don't cry", I comforted while massaging her shoulder and she chuckled lightly while wiping the tears on her face

"Listen fellas, I'm not looking for any trouble-", I was interrupted when I felt my weight being forcibly pulled to the back of the car and the other one was already holding the boot open

"I swear I won't tell anyone one about this, not even the police", I was pleading for my life, but they didn't seem interested in sparing me

"Please, I'm getting married next week"

"Do we look like we give a fuck?", they both scoffed mockingly as one was trying to force me into the truck

"Get in", they both demanded, and I shook my head, they exchanged looks at my defiance before putting a fight with the one that wasn't holding a gun, but he proved to be much stronger than I was

"I'll fucking blow your brains out", the gun was now pointed directly at me and my sank to the bottom of my rib cage. There was no used to fight them because my life was all that mattered in that very second. I voluntarily got into the trunk as the other man tied my hands and feet up with a rope he fished out in a backpack he was carrying.

"Please don't do this-", a duct tape was patched on my lips before my head was covered with some sort of bag and I heard the sound of the trunk being closed and they both got inside the car, before playing music loudly on my speaker, to silence my muffle screams and struggles as I hit my body against the bonnet, in high hopes that someone can hear me and rescue me from this nightmare

God, please don't let this be the end of me
